Guest ItalianMagpie Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Obviously hoping that somehow we won't, but I was thinking that all in all we would deserve it tbh: absolute lack of offensive tactics and ideas, total lack of skills and schemes on set pieces, shocking away record, hard and frustrating struggle in every single game without a single comfortable win the whole season (bar Wigan at home, but the ref helped us consistently), desperate need of random individual skills to win easy games AT HOME (away from home we just don't win), the most defensive tactics I've ever seen and more often than not shocking subs/starting XI by the man at the helm, who's clearly insisting on the wrong players (Tiote and Jonas ffs...) since the beginning of the season and has clearly lost the players. Excluding Reading and QPR (who WILL go down, anyway) I honestly struggle to find another team in the same situation and with the same problems of absolute voidness, so I think we'll go down and more importantly that we all in all deserve to do so, which is embarassing and disgraceful for a club like this and with the players we have.

Guest reefatoon Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 If we finish in the bottom three, then yes. Not really hard to work out is it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 If we do end up in the bottom three on the last day then yes. We are a fucking desperate shambles and have barely played as a team all season, failing to control a match. I would go as far to say that we are the least entertaining, and probably the worst side in the league and have sullied the good name of mind-numbing long ball football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which wouldn't change the fact that we'd deserve to, imho. You deserve to go down if you're one of the three worst teams in the league, at the moment that's slightly debatable depending on what Wigan & Villa do. If we're the 4th or 5th worst team then as shit as we've been, we don't deserve to go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Tbf this is one of the more apt ones than the other five pardew ones...that said by keeping the prick and sticking fingers in our ears we deserve to go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 To an extent the club does because the ownership clearly hasn't learnt a thing from 2009.

Not that I think we've been harshly done to or anything. Every team can do that though, for it to be accurate you would need to look at every incident in all their games too.
